Wye Valley View, Lydbrook

The plot at a glance
Full planning permission has been granted for the construction of a detached five-bedroom home with a detached single garage within Wye Valley View - a small, private and gated development of four homes, set within a welcoming village in the Royal Forest of Dean. The plot overlooks the famed Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, as well as the surrounding boundless countryside.

The foundations for this spacious, modern home have already been built up to ground level.

One completed, on the ground floor, the home would carry a porch, reception hall, open-plan sitting room and kitchen, a formal dining room, a study or bedroom and a shower room. The first floor would include a family bathroom and four bedrooms, one of which would boast an en-suite shower room.

Location
Wye Valley View is situated on the fringes of the village of Lydbrook which offers magnificent views from its high slopes. It lies on the north-west edge of the Royal Forest of Dean - an area which offers 24,000 acres of glorious countryside and presents an ideal landscape for outdoor activities such as walking and cycling.

The River Wye is a short stroll - around a mile away - and a picnic site at Lower Lydbrook in the heart of the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) allows launching canoes or enjoying scenic riverside walks. It is also worth noting that The Old Black Bridge footpath - which leads over the River Wye and connects Lydbrook to Welsh Bicknor - is part of the 136-mile Wye Valley Walk, used by some 20,000 walkers annually. During the summer, canoeists stop here between Ross-on-Wye/Kerne Bridge and Symonds Yat, along with wild swimmers who enjoy the cool, shallow waters found at this spot.

Lydbrook also gives a wealth of local amenities including a primary school - rated 'Good' by Ofsted - plus three reputable pubs, a post office, a convenience store, a health centre, an Indian restaurant and an award-winning fish and chip shop.
